Linospadix caninus is primarily distinguished
by its long, curved fruit that are
about twice as long as they are in its New
Guinea congener, L. albertisiana.
In addition, it is generally a smaller palm, and the
ribs on the pinnae are raised on the adaxial
side only, rather than on both sides.

Linospadix caninus - as Bacularia caninus
- was described by O. Beccari from a collection
made by G. M. Versteeg in 1907
from the Mr. Carstenz area in south-west
Irian Jaya.
